< Jeremiah 34 >

1 The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord, (when Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth, that were under the power of his hand, and all the people fought against Jerusalem and against all the cities thereof, ) saying:
Ty tsara niheo am’ Iirmeà boak’ am’ Iehovà, ie nialy am’ Ierosalaime naho amo rova’e iabio t’i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele naho o lahindefo’e iabio naho o fifeheañe an-tane felehe’e iabio vaho ondaty iabio, nanao ty hoe:
2 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel: Go, and speak to Sedecias king of Juda, and say to him: Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will deliver this city into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.
Hoe t’Iehovà, i Andrianañahare’ Israeley: Akia misaontsia amy Tsidkia, mpanjaka Iehodà, ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà: Inao! hatoloko am-pità’ i mpanjaka’ i Baveley ty rova toy vaho hampangotomomohe’e an’ afo;
3 And thou shalt not escape out of his hand: but thou shalt surely be taken, and thou shalt be delivered into his hand: and thy eyes shall see the eyes of the king of Babylon, and his mouth shall speak with thy mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.
le tsy hibotatsak’ am-pità’e irehe, fa toe ho tsepaheñe vaho ha­sese am-pità’e; le ho isam-pihaino’o o fihaino’ i mpanjaka’ i Baveleio naho hisaontsie’e falie am-palie vaho hañavelo mb’e Bavele mb’eo irehe.
4 Yet hear the word of the Lord, O Sedecias king of Juda: Thus saith the Lord to thee: Thou shalt not die by the sword.
Fe janjiño ty tsara’ Iehovà ry Tsidkia mpanjaka’ Iehodà: Hoe t’Iehovà ama’o: Tsy hampihomahem-pibara irehe;
5 But thou shalt die in peace, and according to the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings that were before thee, so shall they burn thee: and they shall mourn for thee, saying: Alas, Lord: for I have spoken the word, saith the Lord.
f’ie hikoromake an-kanintsiñe, le manahake ty nañembohañe aman-droae’o, o mpanjaka taolo niaolo azoo, ty hañoroa’ iereo emboke ho azo vaho handala, ami’ty hoe: Hoy aba! Inay i tsara nitaroñekoy, hoe t’Iehovà.
6 And Jeremias the prophet spoke all these words to Sedecias the king of Juda in Jerusalem.
Aa le hene nisaontsie’ Iirmeà mpitoky amy Tsidkia mpanjaka’ Iehodà e Ierosa­laime ao i tsara zay,
7 And the army of the king of Babylon fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Juda that were left, against Lachis, and against Azecha: for these remained of the cities of Juda, fenced cities.
ie nialia’ o lahindefo’ i mpanjaka’ i Baveleio t’Ierosalaime naho o rova sisa’ Iehodà iabio, i Lakise naho i Azekà; amy te iereo avao ty rova nihafatrareñe sisa amo rova’ Iehodào.
8 The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord, after that king Sedecias had made a covenant with all the people in Jerusalem making a proclamation:
Ty tsara’ Iehovà niheo am’Iirmeà, ie fa nifañina amo hene’ ondaty e Ierosa­laime ao t’i Tsidkia, t’ie hikoiham-pamotso­rañe,
9 That every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant, being a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, go free: and that they should not lord it over them, to wit, over the Jews their brethren.
te songa ho haha’ ondaty ze mpitoro’e lahilahy, sindre ondaty ty ampela-mpitoro’e, ie lahilahy nte-Evre ndra ampela nte-Evre; soa tsy eo ty hitañe o nte-Iehodà rahalahi’eo an-drohy;
10 And all the princes, and all the people who entered into the covenant, heard that every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant go free, and should no more have dominion over them: and they obeyed, and let them go free.
le songa nañaoñe o roandriañe naho ondaty iaby niantoke i fañinam-pamotsorañeio te hene ondaty ro hañaha ty ondevo-lahi’e naho fonga ondaty ty ondevo-ampela’e, tsy hanoeñe ondevo ka; Eka, nivohotse iereo vaho namotsotse.
11 But afterwards they turned: and brought back again their servants and their handmaids, whom they had let go free, and brought them into subjection as menservants and maidservants.
Ie añe, le nifotetse naho nampipolie’ iareo ondevo’e lahilahio naho ondevo’e ampelao, o navotsotseo; vaho nampiambanea’ iareo ho ondevo lahy naho ondevo ampela;
12 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias from the Lord, saying:
aa le niheo am’Iirmeà boak’ am’ Iehovà ty tsara’ Iehovà manao ty hoe:
13 Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying:
Hoe t’Iehovà, i Andrianañahare’ Israeley: Nanao fañina aman-droae’ areo iraho tañ’ andro nañakarako iareo an-tane Mitsraime, boak’ an-trañom-pañodevozañ’ añe ami’ty hoe:
14 At the end of seven years, let ye go every man his brother being a Hebrew, who hath been sold to thee, so he shall serve thee six years: and thou shalt let him go free from thee: and your fathers did not hearken to me, nor did they incline their ear.
Ie modo ty fito taoñe le tsy mete tsy hene havotso’o ze rahalahi’o nte-Iehodà naletak’ ama’o, ie fa nitoroñe azo enen-taoñe, le tsy mahay tsy haha’o ama’o; fe tsy nañaoñe ahy o roae’ areoo, tsy nanokilan-dravembia.
15 And you turned today, and did that which was right in my eyes, in proclaiming liberty every one to his brother: and you made a covenant in my sight, in the house upon which my name is invocated.
Aniany nahareo te nibalintoa, nanao ty hiti’e a-masoko, songa nitsey famo­tsorañe amo rahalahi’eo t’indaty; vaho nifañina amako añatrefako añ’ anjomba tokaveñe amy añarakoy;
16 And you are fallen back, and have defiled my name: and you have brought back again every man his manservant, and every man his maidservant, whom you had let go free, and set at liberty: and you have brought them into subjection to be your servants and handmaids.
f’ie nivalike, naniva ty añarako, nampibalihe’ areo, songa ondaty ty ondevo’e, sindre ondaty ty ondevo-ampela’e, o fa navotso’ areo hidada ho mb’an-satri’e mb’eo; vaho nanoe’ areo ondevo-lahi’ areo naho ondevo-ampela.
17 Therefore thus saith the Lord: You have not hearkened to me, in proclaiming liberty every man to his brother and every man to his friend: behold I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the Lord, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine: and I will cause you to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth.
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà: Kanao tsy nañaoñe ahy, amy tsey fidadàñey, songa ondaty an-drahalahi’e, sindre ondaty an-drañe’e; le hitseizako fidadàñe, hoe t’Iehovà, ho amy fibaray naho i angorosiy naho i hasalikoañey, vaho hampitsololoheko amy ze kila fifehea’ ty tane toy nahareo.
18 And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, and have not performed the words of the covenant which they agreed to in my presence, when they cut the calf in two and passed between the parts thereof:
Le hatoloko am’ondaty nivalik’ amy fañinakoio, o tsy nañeneke i tsaram-pañina nanoe’ iereo aolo’ ahy eoy, ie tinori’ areo roe i ana-bosiy vaho niranga anteñateña i vaki’e rey—
19 The princes of Juda, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land that passed between the parts of the calf:
o roandria’ Iehodao, naho o roandria’ Ierosalaimeo, o vositseo naho o mpisoroñeo, vaho ze hene ondati’ i taneio, ze niranga añivo’ ty vaki’ i ana-bosiy eo—
20 And I will give them into the hands of their enemies, and into the hands of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies shall be for meat to the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the earth.
hatoloko am-pità’ o rafelahi’eo iereo naho am-pità’ o mipay ty fiai’iareoo; vaho ho fihina’ o voron-dikerañeo naho o bibi’ ty tane toio ty lolo’ iareo.
21 And Sedecias the king of Juda, and his princes, I will give into the hands of their enemies, and into the hands of them that seek their lives, and into the hands of the armies of the king of Babylon, which are gone from you.
Le hatoloko am-pità’ o rafelahi’ iareoo naho am-pità’ o mipay ty fiai’ iareoo, naho am-pità’ o lahin­defo’ i mpanjaka’ i Bavele fa nihankañ’ am’ iareoio, t’i Tsidkia mpanjaka’ Iehodà naho o roandria’eo.
22 Behold I will command, saith the Lord, and I will bring them again to this city, and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Juda a desolation, without an inhabitant.
Inao! handily iraho, hoe t’Iehovà, le hampibaliheko mb’ an-drova mb’atoy iereo; hialia’ iareo, naho hitavana’ iareo, vaho hamorototoa’ iareo añ’afo; le hampangoakoaheko o rova’ Iehodao ho tsy amam-pimoneñe.
